Don't lose your chance at a bucket list national park visit this year
Reflections of mountains at Yosemite National Park

It's one of my biggest nightmares that I'll plan an amazing adventure but accidentally miss a permit or reservation for a bucket list activity. These days, permits and reservations are becoming commonplace at some of our most favorite national parks due to the influx of visitors, so it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of everything. As outdoor enthusiasts gear up for the 2025 season, it's always a good idea to check out which national parks require reservations this year. Here's our top list.
Rocky Mountain National Park resumes timed entry reservations

Starting May 23, 2025, Rocky Mountain National Park is resuming its timed entry reservation system. Last year, there were two types of reservations available: the timed entry and the timed entry plus Bear Lake Road, which offered visitors access to all the destinations along the Bear Lake Road Corridor, including Moraine Park, Sprague Lake, the Glacier Gorge Trailhead, and more. Rocky Mountain National Park will continue these reservation packages into 2025.

Visit Yosemite’s Firefall in 2025 — without a reservation
No reservation? No problem. Here's how to see the Yosemite's Firefall in 2025
Yosemite Firefall at Yosemite National Park in Winter

Every February, Yosemite National Park experiences a Firefall, a natural phenomenon that appears at Horsetail Fall (and one of the reasons winter is a great time to visit). When conditions align, the waterfall glows in vivid orange and red hues at sunset, making it look like the water is on fire. Yosemite needs clear skies, sufficient water flow, and the proper sun angle for this to happen. With this extraordinary event taking place next month, Yosemite National Park is once again implementing a reservation system during the weeks ahead to manage the influx of visitors and protect the park's resources.

50% of these reservations were released back in November, with the rest set to trickle through in the days leading up to the event. However, if you're unfortunate enough not to snag a reservation, here's how you can experience the Firefall in 2025 without one.
